According to the Islamic Revolution Guard Corps Navy, by turning off their navigation and identification systems and transiting unauthorized routes in the Strait of Hormuz, these tankers struck maritime mines and exploded.
The IRGC Navy stated: “Iranian regulations concerning the Strait of Hormuz have been repeatedly communicated to all vessels via radio stations and official notices. Defying these regulations, ignoring them, and cooperating with the invading U.S. military to navigate unauthorized routes will result in such incidents.”
The reality of the situation in the Strait of Hormuz is what you are witnessing right now, not what the terrorist commander of CENTCOM claims on social media using archival footage.
